The hill straddles the parishes of Enkenbach-Alsenborn to the west and Carlsberg to the east and there is a small viewing tower at the top of its domed summit. The A 6 motorway from Saarbrücken to Mannheim runs past the top of the hill just to the south; this is the highest point on the motorway. The Eisbach river, a tributary of the Rhine, rises on the northern slopes of the mountain at a height of about 290 m above NN. Two kilometres downstream it is impounded to form the Eiswoog lake.
